i hate using 'builds' from other people... like... i want to play the game, and part of the game is making your character how you want them.
but then there are 800 boxes on the paragon board, you have to look a dozen steps aheadd and really pay attention to get goodd stuff.... andd some squares do different things, and you have to get to the glyph squares andd then figure out the right glyph plus surrounding boxes....
it just isn't very fun

Yeah when you put it like that it doesn't sound very fun haha. Fortunately for me, how I want my character is how the build is ๐
Interestingly, the butcher will aggro to blood blisters instead of you if one appears
Did you end up getting mount armor finally tact?
haven't booted the ninteder back up yet
just got home from dinner, where I saw a fat little corgi, and will give it a check momentarily
Ah
kicking off updates on my newest toy first... a dedicated signal processor to frequency tune across up to 4 separate subwoofers ๐
Lol
Ghost armor isโฆโฆstill missing
Guess ill@have to contact support
Doing the renown grind again is exhausting
What happened to it applying everything automatically? It only gave me the first two and I had to get the third one myself for the extra skill points.
I hope it isnt like this every season, cause even dropping to lower tier to run fast isn't that great either
It never was going to carry over everything. Only map and Lilith statues
At first they weren't even going to have those carry over, so a little bit at least
We're 56 though, and havent really touched helltides, nightmares, or even malignant tunnels cause been doing renown first
I forgot that some of them were linked to general progression like quests and stuff, so wouldn't unlock them all automatically.
I doubt I'll be finishing the full season journey. Not with the PvP stuff and Uber Lilith being in there.
You don't need to 100% it to get all the rewards though
Yeah, I know, I just meant finishing the full thing.
But I'll see how much it holds my attention for doing the minimum required as there's not much of interest with the season.
Hell, I'll have all the battle pass unlocks done before lvl 65
I think I'm up to the mid-50s on the battle pass.
I'm almost at 70 cause dumb premium thing
I used the premium one too.
I think I'll kill Uber Lilith in seasonal since the dot damage heart is so dumbly broken
The RNG for the Wrathful Invoker seriously hates me too.
Yeah I've yet to see or craft one
Lucy got one. I've had none.
I'm hoping when farm the tunnels for little bit get enough and get lucky or on a drop. Or maybe better in wt4
I keep getting the devious one.
I've got some of each, don't remember the one I have most of
Also if we ever get pets, I hope there's one that's just a chest that follows me around
Oh dear. It gets worse.
The season blessing that increases your gold from vendor sales also increases the re-roll cost with the occultist on legendary items.
โฆ. Wow
Give with one hand, take with the other ๐
I don't think I'll bother with the seasons stuff. Pretty happy with my whirlwind barb though I think I will look at putting some time into another class really soon. Went and deleted the other saves a few weeks back and wish I hadn't now ๐ฆ
Thatโs Bobby!
Apparently the acquiring or re-allocating seasonal blessings note is so important, they had to list it twice
and also fix the "drop the tree stash and pick it up 10 times to complete the task" so you can't shortcut it
Gotta fix the important thing. God forbid people do the 10 whisper challenge earlier even though they'll no doubt do 10 over time any way
Someone at work discovered you could just use the gold thing to sell@stuff and then unequip it before you buy stuff back then reewuip it to resell itโฆ. That exploit surely will be patched fast lol
That was in the notes!
I donโt read!
My friends who did this to do it quicker ended up being like 4/5 levels lower than me though by the same "chapter" unlock because they didn't get the XP from the tree or dungeon clears etc. So didn't end up saving them tons of time in the long run
Bah, game is down for maintenance tonight.
It kicked me out once earlier but was able to get in soon after that luckily. I always seem to come on when there is some kind of downtime lol. Well I finally completed the campaign now anyway.
My glowy horsey is back
i know...
This game is determined to drop every glyph except the one I need for the first board.
Just got the last glyph I needed this morning. Now to spend tons of time upgrading them
relogging apparently finally fixed the bottom rewards syncing...just wow
We had a bug earlier after we failed an ND. When we got outside, if we stood still for a second, our characters would fall down on the floor as if they were dead.
We did wt4 capstone last night as well, so can do carries on that starting next week probably
Haha this has been in the game for a while! I love that bug
Nice Eris, what level are you now? I'm only 59 and mostly solo now unfortunately
I've started on the "Champion" objectives now. But need to level up a fair amount before I can do most of them
When we did capstone, I was 59, Eris and her roommate were 58
Oh ok, I'm 60 atm. I think I'll have to wait until I'm mid 60s though to solo it
campfire chat soon
Did I accidentally over level? I hit 52 on hell last night (t2, my first play through) and the Lilith fights didnโt even use all 8 of my pots. I never dropped below 6 and wasnโt even deliberately picking up ones that dropped at the phase boundariesโฆ
Should I be just running through the story and ignoring everything I find as side quests until t3 at this point?
Campaign/wt2 is meant to take you up to 50, but it can be done a bit sooner tbh
And I'd say you could safely do that, but it's about what you want to do
Trans pride diablo shirt!
yea you know I want a little bit of challenge but not to always be stressed and dying... but that was kind of a let down epic battle lol
Full patch notes out next Wednesday so might change since then but thought I'd show here for now
ok there's a lot here
not sure if I should post them all
Then yeah hop to wt3 when can
Exit dungeon going back to 3 seconds
Is this a bug? It's all monster attacks that burn resources not just ones at a distance
Just tried to fight the butcher before realising that I always had no resource to do anything to him
now that I think about it when I had the resource burn condition it was definitely bugged as every attack from monsters was resulting in fury loss and that is what likely made it more difficult than was necessary 
any time I get nightmare dungeons with that condition I just salvage it and craft a new one (in the hope it too isn't going to have resource burn)
Anything not in your immediate melee range is considered distant. But idk if bugged or not cause it's not worth the effort
Yeah I had people in my face and it was going down. Definitely bugged
Resource burn modifier is an instant salvage.
I didn't mind it so much as a barbarian but for some reason as a rogue it feels worse
I'm only level 62 I think. Last couple of days I've been running normal dungeons in WT3 with friends so they can catch up so I don't have to play alone. But because they are level 55 in dungeons I've been getting no XP
I'm still on the lookout for a wrathful invoker
Same! My friend got hers first time so I got the seasonal thing for defeating a wrathful whatever it was. But you need to do it yourself annoyingly to get the 'use a wrathful invoker' quest
Also I tried to defeat Varshan or whatever his name is. Level 60 and I'm 62, I have no trouble beating most enemies 10 levels higher than me including bosses... But this guy one bangs me, can't do anything ๐
Also, does anyone else have issues with how much damage hornets deal out? ๐
Ha ha hornets were one of the enemies I had to be really careful with when I first met them.
The other was ummโฆ a tall fellow, Iโd need to log in again to remember.
Skeleton archer bow monsters (the ones that are literally living bows, not just the regular skeletons carrying bows) are near the top of my target list if I encounter them in a group too
yeah, those guys will one shot a sorc from off screen on higher nightmare levels ๐
Alright finished the capstone so I could unlock tier 3 stuff. Now to go finish revealing some map spots I didnโt do and finishing up like a dozen side quests that have been in my journal for awhile
nice, have fun in wt3!
I like this drop!
Getting Aberrant cinders is just such a grind. Really don't feel like it's worth doing anymore outside of doing it for the seasonal challenges
completely forgot about D4 armory as of late and all the issues I had getting it to show my stats (apparently I had to make my in game profile public, lol) but here they are now 
Here is my seasonal character's stats so far
Weird it says players killed 0 when I've got 2 different players ears
yay, got a bold chieftain ring to finally drop! Was sacred but with how uncommon that aspect is to find I was happy enough to imprint it onto an ancestral ring and it now means I can progress to the next level of the whirlwind barb
At this point I would gladly pay triple the materials needed to get a wrathful invoker. This RNG is a joke.
Stupid game gives me the Caldeum steed mount from around every one in four dungeons, but will it let me have a wrathful invoker? Nope. ๐
I think unfortunately I'm calling it there for this season. I think because I'm now mostly playing solo now it's not as much fun, but I am finding it a bit difficult to continue when I'm just constantly running nightmare dungeons which also end up being the same 5 dungeons too.
I think the game is good fun, but would like to see a little more endgame variety than just grinding nightmare dungeons. No sweat if it doesn't happen, I enjoyed my time and I'll probably revisit it again in a couple of seasons to see what has changed
hit tier 90 last night on battle pass, still no wrathful invoker dropped or crafted 
They really need to retune the RNG on those.
We fought the echo of whatshisname last night. The world tier 3 version. That fight sucked and took ages.
Varshan?
That's the one.
Yeah he wasn't a fun one for us either, we managed to do it at level 65 and level 58, both rogues.
Wasn't worth the hassle though, didn't drop anything fun
yeah echo of whatshisname is really tough
What level are you both now?
anyone else get abruptly logged out of Diablo 4 a moment ago? 
Iโm level 53 on my first character and 1 on my season!
Oh and like 10 on an eternel@necro I gave up on
I hit 60 last night. Lucy is 55. Or maybe 56.
I mean yea I wish I could because I do get attached lol
I love this rogue poison tank build ๐
Just solo'd the Butcher in a NM dungeon, him 10 levels up on me, I face tanked him the whole time, ended the fight at full health, never used a potion, and by the end, his health was dropping so fast from poison when he got his barrier up, it was gone in under a second ๐
Hah nice. Which build is that?
Eris shared it with me (she's running the same)
I wasn't happy with mine, she was just cleaning up while 5 levels lower than me, so I asked what she was using ๐
Thanks. I'll check it out some time.
Is fun build, lots of self sustain lol
wt4 echo of varshan fairly easy, also apparently there's a tier 5 of malignant hearts that can drop
30 invoker caches, not 1 wrathful invoker 
If I hadn't seen Lucy get one, I'd think they were lying that they exist.
They did comment that they'll look into the drop rates, sooooo maybe by end of season they fix it?
Final day patch.
Gotta farm out wrathfuls this weekend though before it's fixed on Tuesday
Before what is fixed?
Resetting varshan on seasonal quest to keep redoing it for guaranteed wrathful hearts
Ah, didn't know that was a thing
Yeah, if you don't finish the final seasonal quest by talking to the guy after you kill varshan, but leave and reset dungeons you can repeat
I have an alt rogue that I did seasonal quest on rq to get to that point since had already completed by time heard about it. I sit alt at entrance in instance in wt4 and they go kill him
I got tired of doing anything involving the hearts. Sick of not getting the wrathful invoker so stopped doing the malignant tunnels and just been doing NDs
Just unlocked tier 87 of the season pass, so three left
Yeah at this point I don't need it but it'd be nice to at least see
wt4 echo is a great loot farm though, 2-3 guaranteed item power 800 pieces and 6-7 hearts on a full clear
The tier 3 fight was annoying enough.
Right now my main focus is levelling up so I can start doing the higher level stuff. I'm only 62 so far.
World boss in about 9 minutes.
Ah, just looked at that poison tank build and saw it uses Twisting Blades. I tried using that a couple of times and just don't get on with it at all.
It's not so much focused around optimizing twisting blades though, plus with the aspect it's easy. It's mainly just poison and spamming twisting blades
You don't need to zip around to have the blades flying about?
I just can't get the hang of that part of it. Dunno why, but it just doesn't work for me at all.
Nah, the circling blades aspect or whatever has then circle around you and want to keep stuff within poison pool anyways and stack as many stacks
I'm really low on materials right now so probably won't be able to switch all the aspects around for the build to work right now.
Resources are definitely worse on seasonal
I swear, almost every ND I do, I get a pair of Grasp of Shadow. Not very unique...
I've gotten so many of the rogue unique pants
I've had a few of those too. No boots though, which my build ideally needs.
That's the battle pass finished
Anyone online free to give a hand with the WT3 Lvl 70 Capstone boss?
Got him down by about three quarters but can't quite get the kill.
Sure, we've got time for a couple of attempts before we stop for lunch. Thanks
Ok I'll log in now
Ah, are you not in WT3?
It told me you hadn't unlocked it.
Odd
If you port to us, we're right near the boss room
I can hop on if need me
Looks like we might ๐
Ok
It's crazy how much damage the boss can output
It's the one-shot fireballs that annoy me. Especially when the other enemies start throwing them around. There's too many.
I need to try that other build that Laura linked too later
you can see it in action in a moment
I'm trying to get the necessary aspects before I can change.
I've been collecting aspects this time round because I wanted to swap before but didn't have any of the good stuff
wow
Damn!
Thanks for the help! That was impressive
thank you both!
Well I'll take the participation sticker lol
np lol
I need to get a load more oobols to gamble for 1h to get the aspect needed for that build.
which one are you short?
What aspect is it you need? I'll see if I have some armour in my stash that has it on
Bursting Venoms
ah
I've modified the build slightly, like for example I don't use umbrous aspect and use cheats instead
I have it in my aspect inventory, can you trade that?
I don't think so.
And I don't take dash, I keep dark shroud on my hotbar
Damn, sorry. I had 2 too in my inventory that I had extracted ๐ฆ
no, you can't trade legendaries
Oh ok ๐ฆ damn
I am not going to experiment with the build because I am useless at stuff like that. So I'll just stick to it for now
i came back to ked, so can see what im using if want to
it's not much of a modification to the build guide though so far albzi, it's just something that makes it feel more efficient/survival cause not too concerned with slightly faster pack clears
We need to log out now to get some lunch. Thanks again for the help with that.
np! feel free to yell if need help with other stuff
Will do, thanks
and notice rhinne, i wasnt running around to have to deal with twisting blades stuff ๐
Well, the boss did die before the other enemies turned up. ๐
I still need to do uber Lilith at some point so then I've got the last achievement.
she's so tough
Yeah, I've been well and truly wrecked each time I've tried.
I'm hoping to finally get a kill on seasonal
Same
Sounds about right. ๐
I hopped into echo of Lilith last night at 78 just to clear the quest off my journal, and I knocked about 10% hp off before she did her first jump and I died. Since I wasn't trying to avoid any thing I was shocked at how much that did
That's impressive for level 78
I'm going to try and get some levelling up done today.
Yeah, just shows how broken the poison build is lol
I've switched over to it now. Working out nicely.
And the patch on Tuesday increases poison trap damage too lol
Hah nice
I have 4 or 5 gear pieces to swap out in stash, but ugh effort
I'm at 3 or 4 Condemnations, no Khanjar
FINALLY got a Wrathful invoker
no ashearas for me yet either
did get penitent last night finally though
the build works fine with either of the daggers though, kinda wanna try using both lol

crafted 20 sigils, 14 had resource burn ๐
BOOOO
4 more, 3 more w/resource burn wtf
Omg there is d4 carbon!???
That horse lol
it sums up horses well ๐
thats the video ive been referencing past few nights though when were in vc
ah, it's so good ๐
hoping they do a carbot crossover in game now
hmm, have they already done the update today?
The following Nightmare Dungeon affixes have been removed:
Resource Burn
Backstabbers
Empowered Elites (Cold Enchanted)
Nice
New stash tab costs 400K
Can't wait to load your latest stab tash when I get into a town!
lets see how changes are to nm's with density
Resource burn sounded horrible at not fun at all
it wasnt
Well, I don't know what they've done to rogues, but this build seems busted now.
We've just done a nightmare dungeon and Bursting Venoms procced just four times. It was way more often before this patch.
Without the proc there's a 14 second cooldown on using poison imbuement, so I was stood there stabbing away for ages with health barely moving.
increased density in nm's, seems like it's just lol add more archers
I'm still seeing it proc, definitely feels less though overall. Wonder if need more lucky hit now hmm
It's definitely a lot less. We've done a dungeon and a half (first one didn't go too well ๐ฌ) and it barely procced in either of them. Just four times in the second one that we finished.
def seen it more than that, but i got wrecked in a 41
We're only in 21s right now. I can go a bit higher, but Lucy is lvl 63 so gets stomped if I go too high.
They've definitely changed something.
Another dungeon - one single proc in the entire run.
I'm playing no different to how I was before dinner. Whatever they've done in the patch has changed this from being a fun build to play into a tedious chore doing so much less damage and taking longer to finish dungeons.
reddit
0 votes and 10 comments so far on Reddit
Welp, back to the old build I guess then lol
lets see if they address it at all hmm
Apparenty they also increased the mob density in nightmare dungeons, but reduced the gold drop rate. ๐
They also apparently broke the Shadow Decoy trap. It doesn't taunt enemies any more.
feels like there's also a lot more random cold enchanted mobs now too ๐
Yep
so sounds like it's not fun anymore again? ๐ฆ
it's....something. will have to see if they respond to any of this stuff as intended vs bugs
They took the cold empowered away from the elites and gave it to the regular mobs.
am i just missing it, or do the regular ones have cold enchanted but not listed for them under health bar?
Our first post-patch dungeon had mobs spawning the freezing circles, plus mobs spawning the fearing circles, plus drifting shade. Trying to dodge a freezing circle, landing in a fearing circle, then being feared into a freezing one, then combed with shade.
the drifting shade is one affix i avoid too
just too annoying to deal with
and lightning storm and uh, armor breakers, and one other
So almost all of them then ๐
Seems to be giving less glyph XP at the end of the dungeon too.
Now that the poison procs so infrequently, this build has become more reliant on dashing around to get more damage out of the twisting blades.
That's the one part of twisting blades that I hated and why I avoided it before this poison tank build.
Because all the rewards are in the battle pass, I feel no motivation whatsoever to finish the season journey.
Stormbane (or storm whatever)
Yeah that
Stormbane's Wrath
yeah, that one
Several threads being posted in the subreddit about the bursting venoms aspect. People getting 1 or 2 procs per dungeon like I was.
So there's clearly an undocumented 'fix' that's made this build no fun to play.
Based on posts, it seems they also removed priority affixes from the occultist because people complained they were coming up too often. So now people trying to get them can't.
lol... I was going to come back to it as well. Might wait
well, helltide cinders are MUCH easier to get now
so with a couple of tweaks, build is still okay. just not bursting venoms before op tbh
swap in pestilent points and make it more of just an imbued dmg build, and possibly that heart instead of cc one
what is pestilent points aspect?
oh, that one, every 3rd puncture is poison imbued
yeah, that definitely feels the better way to go
actually...
what about that instead?
3-4 attacks, so you get 24-30% boost to core + 3 combo points
thats not a bad one, but idk what id replace with that with what currently running tbh
drop the bursting venom and put that in place of it
do you have pestilent points already though?
I'm so lost
replace bv with pestilent, change out cc heart to the attacks have chance to proc all imbues
build up attack speed as high as can pretty much then + imbue skill ranks from gear
I think I might be better off sticking with the CC increase to DOT heart still, 40% increase on DOT of poison is still really significant
its something that would have to play around with, but you're not getting anywhere near the same dots though without bv proc'ing like it did
yeah, but poison trap is a dot (which was boosted) and I have 11 points of poison imbue for 240% increase to base skill dmg in poison dot
and it's a multiplacitive 40% increase from the heart
yes, but with high attack speed that's not an insignificant amount of extra imbue procs
Would that work well with the imbue heart?
i dont know if they work together, thats something ive been curious about too
cause if so, yeah that could be kinda broken
actually, it just says:
it's not "your attacks with an imbuement have a chance to apply all imbuement effects"
yes, thats why said high attack speed for basic spam to proc it
fair, but basic attack is pretty weak compared to core
core is where all the damage is
well, you're spamming basic anyways for resource gen to use tb. so the faster basic attack is the faster resource gen to use more tb
true
so yes you can still proc that heart off of tb, but with the amount of basic vs tb cast in a fight, you're more likely to see the heart proc off of basic
sadly I only have 1 imbuement heart ๐ฆ
needed more varshan farm before patch ๐
needed to keep more of those hearts from the farm before the patch
but I was dumb and was only keeping the one we were using ๐ฆ
I got rid of most hearts because I was trying to get that stupid rare invoker. I'm lost as to what's recommended now.
I've got enough to swap around some tomorrow to play with
really liking my barbarian. Somehow I just can't get bored of the whirlwind! ๐ Working on paragon and glyphs
Woo, finally got my Penitent Greaves!
THIS HOTFIX HAS COMPLETED ROLLING OUT TO ALL PLAYERS.
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where the Shadow Clone from the Trickery Malignant Heart did not taunt enemies.
Seasonal Bug Fixes
The drop rate and craft chance for Wrathful Hearts and Invokers has been increased.
The previous chance to get a Wrathful Invoker from crafting an Uncertain Invoker was 3%.
The chance is now 15%.
Previous chance to get a Wrathful Heart from crafting an Uncertain Heart was 2%.
The chance is now 10%.
Wrathful Invokers now also have a chance to drop from elites in addition to other Invokers.
Miscellaneous
Further Stability improvements.
๐ฆ
well, roommate has gotten 2 wrathful invoker drops already tonight...
Feels like bv is procing more tonight after hotfix
roommate ended up with 3 wrathful invokers tonight, ive gotten 1 so far
heh, all that effort and frustration Rhinne (I think it was?) was going through just a few days ago trying to get one of those and now they probably drop like gold off a treasure goblin. Got to love updates and hotfixes sometimes ๐
btw Diablo IV loot be trolling me in nighmare dungeons. Had two ancestral unique 2H swords drop earlier for me and here I was getting excited on both occasions it might have been the grandfather (I wish!) turned out both times to be Fields of Crimson ๐ข
got another, also just overall wrathful malignant seem more common as well
Really? After ages trying to get one, Blizzard increases the chances two days after I get one?
Yup
anyone play on PC had a grey screen that pops up on starting the game? I also seem to be getting corruption or something while in the renown menu. Really don't think either should be happening but I've just been rolling along with it for some time now, though the latter seems to have got worse recently ๐ฆ
dont have those, but it does hard crash my vid card drivers every now and then
also, rogue builds been updated
I saw that they made a minor change to the one Laura linked and switched out one of the aspects. Have there been more changes since then?
changed paragon around a little, swapped aspect, swapped out wrathful heart for barber
I'll check it out later.
Patch for 15th
Fixed an issue where mount skills were sometimes not available after leaving a city.
Finally!
yeah lol
I think I have way too many gems ๐ (I thought they were increasing the number that could be held at one time to 99 from 50?)
No, it was elixirs that was changing to 99
they are making changes to gems and storing though. Next season i think

Wow...diablo released youtube video of two devs playing a dungeon on wt1 with level 50 chars and they struggled...
they devs. Could have modded characters to have god rolls on all gear and one hit kill to look good wtf. I struggle in wt4 nightmare dungeons past tier 31. So far that's the best I've done but also come very close to failing on a few occasions hence calling that a struggle
I don't know what I'm going to do with all the ancestral legendaries I have. Gathered way too many to the point I'd likely go broke picking out the aspects from each of them and that's even with some 20 million credits ๐
for aspects, only save top 1-2 rolls of aspects that you'll actually use, 2-3 on ones that might frequently swap out
then just sell or salvage rest of the legendaries if no use to you
hmm, yeah that's a good point. I been collecting the aspects like they are pokemon lol. Sorting through them the way I've been doing it so far is just so time consuming too. Gear hoarding problems ๐ happens to often to me in games like this tbh
you should be able to do nightmares with stuff 5 levels higher than you at least, up to 10 levels above for max
I probably can but just slowly progressing through the nightmare tiers to a point where I can no longer progress. Tier 31 seems close but that also depends really on the conditions that are applied as I can solo them without having to revive but then there are some where I've gone down to my very last revive. Swapped my gear and stuff around too which probably hasn't helped any so idk how I'll do in tier 31 now but my character seems the strongest he's ever been and that's at level 85 with something like 60 paragon points yet to get to max out this build
gold never goes as far as you think it will either ๐
nope, 9.6m for my next necklace reroll ๐
๐ฑ
I cleared my stash of loot. Felt good but now looks so empty ๐ Lost about 5 million credits in all between selling, salvaging and extracting any of the aspects I needed and keeping one of each from there 
Yep, they're getting blasted for that. I really don't understand why they put that video out when people are asking 'Do the devs even play the endgame?' and this is the dev gameplay they show.
yeah, just wtf
uber lilith to about 30% ๐ want to just get the kill so can call season a wrap and not bother with finish leveling
That's the only achievement I need to finish off the game.
ill try again tomorrow in a couple of levels, maybe try and roll some upgrades again
What level are you at the moment?
89
Nice. I'm only 72 at the moment.
I've not played much the last few days.
I have zero motivation to finish the season journey now I've done the battle pass. The rewards from the season journey seem pointless.
I'm hoping to get it done before Tuesday patch since probably some other undocumented nerf
inb4 nerfed all the fun and buffed all enemies to one hit as some "unintended" change ๐
They're trying to please everyone, and it's making the game a disaster
Also trying to slow people down so they don't blow through the season pass, so there's more encouragement to buy levels.
I bet that level that people are using to power level to 40 in under two hours gets nerfed like crazy.
My biggest gripe atm though is not being able to reroll heart sockets. I've not been able to upgrade my jewelry cause can't find right combination with even 2/4 wanted stats
I keep finding devious, and that's the one I don't use
I've not bothered doing much of that right now. The season isn't engaging enough for me to want to spend that much time after I've done it all already on my eternal realm character.
D3 seasons were so much better.
I could swap back to druid on eternal but it'd take about same amount of farming to swap specs around to kill Lilith tbh
the thing that definitely annoys me the most is how some can essentially exploit levelling to the point the devs then punish all the rest after. I just pick up levels whatever way I can. Found the PvP areas to be pretty nice like time just flies by and that paragon progress bar with it. Doesn't feel too slow, even at level 85 right now
though I do have to work on levelling glyphs to maximize my build. I'm running what should be a level 100 end game variant of the whirlwind barb and it expects users to have reached at least level 15 on all glyphs (level 21 ideal) and of course level 100 will have unlocked all paragon point (which again I have not, some 58 short I think)
The thing is, it's not really exploiting. Diablo is a game that is all about the end-game, so being able to power level to the mid point should be an option for people with the resources or skills.
A person wanting to spend two hours completing and repeating the same dungeon to level more efficiently isn't really exploiting and that shouldn't affect other players who want to play normally.
But because there's a battle pass now, you can sure as hell bet that will get nerfed.
Idk if they'll nerf that one
There's tons of fast level methods if doing powerlevel in the game
I'm 3 WT4 world bosses away from being finished with the season journey
I still want to try killing uber lilith, but at least I'll finish season journey without her
I haven't even started season 1 content and tbh I don't think I will. Still having way too much fun with the Whirlwind Barb and found out it is actually really good at PvP. Was in a 2v1 + monsters and beat them all. Was epic to see as usually I suck at PvP stuff and of course I got some lovely messages from the people I killed hehe. I cannot wait to see what this build can do when I finally reach level 100 and maximize the glyphs if what I see now is as strong as it is... I fear there may be an impending Barb nerf coming (yes, after they buffed some stuff) 
ok, I suck at dodging lilith's instakill attacks ๐ฆ
Talking of gold and Lilith, I'm level 47 I still on the campaign just got too Lilith her 2nd phase is crazy I gave up last night after all my gear was broke and no gold to repair it. Will try again in a bit but I really liking the game
Someone on reddit finished the season journey. This is what they got from the final season journey cache. ๐ฌ
Stats on the gear items were useless and sold for 72K gold. That's a pathetic reward for how many hours are needed for that.
world boss in little over 2 hours
Geez
when you have an event and rest of dungeon spawn on top of you and end of dungeon named...
so, after lot of testing, ive decided barber heart is bugged. if it crits, it can trigger the next immunity period without applying it's damage, and that damage saved up is just lost
k, domhainne is dumb xp. 20% of a level at 90 in a tier 50 in just the first area
full run, slightly over quarter of a level. so if wanting xp it's definitely all in that first area
Nice, good to know.
New patch is live.
Players are now in the Trade Channel by default.
Also, trades are currently disabled.
๐
some dupe exploit going around
had a really frustrating encounter with two players in pvp. One in particular was 3 levels less than me and somehow made my whirlwind barb look bad. Never seen it do such little damage and for the health to drop in the way that it did - other than when I tried picking fights with level 100 players but level 83? Should have been a walk in the park. Especially after I get the stun and whirlwind going. Very little survive it, let alone face tank it better than any boss does...
apparently an undocumented change in patch was lowering the enchant costs for items by a good amount
OMG, I did it that took forever....
My final loot from the season
I really don't understand why they made it so pointless. Aside from the scroll.
utterly pointless
I haven't played in a week I think
Nor me.
I've finished the battle pass and got the crap that offers. The season journey has nothing in it that I care to grind for and that takes any purpose and enjoyment out of it.
I'll help Lucy with anything she needs, but at this point all I want to do is get the last achievement and move on from the game unless they make some massive changes and improvements.
Watch the trailer below to meet Erys, a vampire hunter who stalks these blood leeches throughout Sanctuary, voiced by actress and producer Gemma Chan.
Season of Blood is coming to #DiabloIV.
โ ๏ธ 5 new and returning endgame bosses
โ๏ธ Updates to renown rewards
๐ Updates to gem & stash storage
๐ฅ Updates to resistance & status effects
Accompany Erys (voiced by actress and producer, Gemma Chan) as she leads the effort against a deadly new evil threatening Sanctuary.
Join the hunt, October 17th ๐ฉธ
New patch notes for next Tuesday
Of course they have an event when we're away.
Starfield early access. Diablo IV's player count will probably take quite a hit. What a time to have an event like that ๐ btw is this game wide or just those on the Seasons track?
From September 1, 10 a.m.โ September 5, 10 a.m. PDT, all players will earn XP and Gold at a 25% increased rate. The Mother blesses all of her children, as this bonus applies to both Seasonal and Eternal Realms, and all World Tiers.
and yeah i didn't tie that with starfield to bad i likely be playing starfield. Even though it be nice for the 25% extra
Oh cool. They didnโt email me about that one, gotta go fix that
first s2 live stream in little over an hour
Some good changes coming to s2, but so many of them should have been in the start
Completely forgot this game exists, to be honest.
Still need to kill Uber Lilith then I can forget about it entirely until the first expansion.

So for S2, if the game had launched like this it would have had totally different reception imo
I wish some of the cosmetics weren't locked to specific classes.
I don't care about the clothing ones because you can barely see gear any way, but I saw they've added a bunch of the backpack animals. I've got platinum sitting around from the battle pass and ultimate edition so planned to spend it but the one I wanted doesn't work for the class(es) I play.
No, I wanted either Bear Cub Bale or Pale Mischief.
I made a Necro for this season. Baphomet is alright, I guess.
But I also quite like the Shooting Star mount.
Shame the colours on the mounts are always different from the preview image when you look at them.
By level 15 I had all rare except ring and amulet. At 21 I have 2/3 of armor legendary already and rest rare, with having replaced a couple legendaries already
The static preview image on the shop page is a darker purple and then the mount looks really grey when you open it.
I have the celestial court mount
Yeah, that's why find videos on yt/reddit of people with them
it leaves purple trails when runs!
it probably looks better with the mount i posted ^
shop preview for me
see that bioluminescence mount?
imo, if want a good match with that shooting star set, wait for polaris to show back up
I really don't know if I can be bothered with the grind of another season in this. Not when there's so many other games with passes and seasons, plus Spider-Man 2 this weekend.
This game burned a lot of bridges.
I just hate that I've got one achievement left in it still.
leveling in beginning is definitely boosted, can tell that
will have to see how it is in wt3/4. we should get to wt3 tomorrow np
This is the first time I've loaded in for the new season. I had the big CoD update installing last night.
wow, almost max item power staff on wep vendor rofl
Some great looking artwork. ๐คฃ
rofl
Two of them on the trophies page too ๐
Is there one running now?
Yeah
Thanks for the heads up.
I'll have a proper play of it later after work. Not really something I can play between emails.
I had a quick play and got to level 10
im messing around on a druid atm, playing rog w/roommate
one of early lines is great, you tell the main bad guy, nah and its lol
I thought gems were supposed to go in a special bag now?
thats coming next season i think perty sure they said season 3 for that
Gems do
If you have existing ones just salvage them
And yeah, that event is insane for loot in blood harvests lol
Is there a threshold for the gems before they go into another section? I have low level ones that are sat in my bags as normal.
This is all on a new character for the season.
No
For seasonal, they all drop as shards that go into materials section
If you remove a gem you've crafted from an item, you can salvage it back for the shards so won't be in inventory
So only the shards go there? If I craft a gem, that goes to the inventory?
That makes more sense. I didn't really see the shards and I crafted a gem so wasn't sure if that was meant to be stored somewhere else or not.
You can use your Microsoft points to purchase the accelerated pass for 22,500 points.
just got 4.5m from a whisper chest in wt3 lol
Helltide in wt3 feels horrible. Like it didn't get the density and drop rate buff from last season
helltide in wt4, we got more cinders in 5 minutes than in 30 mins in wt3. so something definitely messed up in wt3
resistances, are totally no joke now and worth swapping around for whatever boss you're fighting
we went in to fight the new boss that's lightning based at 67, he's 75, and didn't go well. swap around to lightning resist and elixir and it's easily doable there. varshan however, they seriously beefed him up

So accurate. I hate when that damn lightning thing goes off right as you go down a ladder.
New level 100 pinnacle boss is doable at 83, not even with rogue one shot build. We did 4 kills tonight, that's all the items we had to spawn him ๐ฆ , and no uber uniques rip
woo a refund all button on the paragon board. That was much needed 
Yeah, was hoping they'd add a refund single board option as well, but hey it's progress
Training dummy too
Campfire chat at blizzcon
Tonight we found out, that you can have too much loot on the ground and some of it disappears
Grats Laura on acquiring a uber unique xD
awesome btw, do uber uniques all drop at maxed item power?
Nice
They all drop at 925, yeah
So congrats everyone, you now know someone with an uber unique. No more for the rest of us!
I'd better get moving fast then! ๐
I can't even remember what level I am. Let me check.
Ah knowing my luck it will be.
I don't have much time to play this morning as I've got someone out to do some work in just over two hours
can uber lilith drop uber uniques?
hoping it's not fixed though, cause it's not listed in the notes and they said they're just gonna let things be this season
but this ones kinda game busting rofl
I'm level 25
extremely rarely, like the rest of the game. she doesn't have any boosted rates ๐ฆ
I just want the achievement
so you have 2 hours free atm?
2-ish
hop on, lets see if can do this ๐
One sec, just need to sort something out. And I'll need to step away briefly in about 20 minutes when Lucy goes to work.
You can join me when good
May as well hang on until I'm properly free in about 20 minutes. Then I'l be good for about two hours.
Okay, couple of minutes and Iโll be ready.
np
Loading in now. What's the plan?
I'll run ya through the capstones real quick then lilith
should only take around 30 mins, since sittin at boss for first capstone atm
np will take me couple mins to run to next
I didn't even get chance to move then ๐
Sorry, not doing well moving away from things.
I need to go repair.
Back in a sec @silk anvil
It's pretty much one hit kill for me so hard to dodge anything
repairing
One sec @silk anvil Dealing with General
lol broke it i think
oops
Gets me every time at that bit
Oops, that one was my fault. Sorry.
Unlucky ๐ฆ
gonna change something
idk why having so much trouble this time around
I've jinxed it ๐
Difficulty scaled for two people?
Also do I still get the achievement if I'm dead when you get the kill?
it does scale hp up some, but i did it earlier with 2 people np
and yeah, as long as it doesnt say kill solo
Okay, that's good. I don't care about the mount and title, just the achievement.
So close
(โฏยฐโกยฐ)โฏ๏ธต โปโโป
Oh damn, that was super close.
i pushed wrong button first, or it wouldve been one shot there
Not much point in me repairing because I always die on that second phase any way if not the first. I may as well just wait.
just yell at me for running too soon and being impatient
You're doing way better than I ever could or have so far.
๐๐๐๐ Awesome!
grats, even though took way longer than i thought it would rofl
np lol
Good timing too as I need to go do something before this handyman turns up shortly. Thank you again, really appreciate that help.
If I can help with anything in other games (or this but thatโs unlikely ๐) let me know.
hah will do
patch is out
Did it break things for your rogue?
nope lol
There will be no salvation in the light.
The #VesselofHatred expansion comes to #DiabloIV in late 2024 ๐บ
This expansion was first revealed at #BlizzCon 2023 during the Opening Ceremony.
Diablo General Manager Rod Fergusson took to the stage at BlizzCon 2023 to discuss the latest updates for Diablo 4, including new in-game activities, end game boss ladder, changes to item power and renown rewards. They also tease seasonal events Abbatoir of Zier and Midwinter Blight, and offer a brief look at upcoming expansion Vessel of Hatred,...
Final tier of season journey's chest is just a ton of potent blood, like.. maybe 3000? IE: only good if you're going to level another character
hehe
Got these in today
Nice. I have those. I went for the regular Lilith, not the glow in the dark one. I also have the Inarius, but I didn't bother with the druid.
Not sure why they chose druid as the only class to release a figure for.
The glow in the dark one must be exclusive at another store in the US. Itโs not in our system.
Looks like itโs an Amazon exclusive. I like how it looks.
Our curtains are closed all day so no daylight comes in. Plus I don't sit in the dark, so I never bother with the glow in the dark ones as I never see the effect. ๐
Same, I have blackout curtains. No light gets through lol
We sell the others on our website, but I donโt currently have the bottom two in my store. Inarius looks dope
I'm guessing they plan to do the other classes later. If not, it's a weird choice to go with druid and no others.

Oh hey, that's a nice buff to living steel rates
Surprised just now seeing the catamount!
This is the first time Iโve even launched it in a long time lol
My last season character only made it to level 8
You were talking about baphomet few days ago!
I saw it on Twitter lmao
I did just buy it tonight though :p
And gave up. I want to use the rogue I created and never played but I donโt have the energy to go through the character creator tonight lol
Double xp starting Sunday for a week
Oh interesting. Iโm taking 2 days off for thanksgiving so surely ill@be able to play for a couple hours lol
Laura has 2 to 100 this season! Or close if not yet lol
Pfft uber farming without us
Excuse me! 1) You haven't been on in a week! 2) I've only done it twice now (and that's all I'm doing because that's all the shards and eggs I did, rest of the mats are still needed to farm Varshan and Grigoire) because I wanted to try and just get my last few pieces of gear up to 925
Pfft. We'll be back on d4 this weekend
and I'm not using any of the gear from either kill ๐ญ
I assume for a new seasonal character that I should choose the skip the campaign button? I donโt remember that even being an option with my first seasonal
I havenโt played in so long I literally couldnโt move for a moment. Like I was trying to spin the camera around ha ha ha
Diablo action figures are up for preorder. They look really cool too
Well I finally finished Act I ๐คฃ
Youโre way ahead of me. Iโve only done a handful of missions.
Oh no I was in a dungeon maybe 2/3 done got logged out now my account is locked from logging in with what appears to be a server overloaded error ๐ฆ
oh no ๐ฆ
Got back in after 10 minutes. That was not only too long for the dungeon to maintain state it also forgot where I was - put me on the wrong city and Iโm missing some of the loot (an orange ring) that Iโd picked up. Darn it!
At least Iโm only like level 20โwhatever not one of the 80+ folks with real grinds and real gear lol
well if you decide you want a "quick run through the dungeon to make up for it", let me know ๐
lol when I get to be a useful level I will ๐
Rouge is interestingโฆ Iโve got like shadow marksmanship rapid fire so things blow up pretty easily if I can keep moving (got some movement:energy skill)
yeah, rogue was fun ๐ You playing season I assume?
Yea the vamp stuff sounded cool.
yeah, hemomancy is really nice too for doing good aoe damage too
I know I have a rogue that can one shot stuff, but sheesh ball lightning sorc is disgusting
hahaha, basing that on my character, or did you find a gravitational last night after I went to bed? ๐
Oh I've seen it all season and videos of course, but I got a gravitational last night. Even with by far not having optimal setup, it's so dumb lol
hehe ๐
I tried lightning as my original pre-season / launch character and had to switch to ice instead.
Glad to hear theyโve fixed the problems with original lightning!
Check out some videos showcasing ball lightning builds this season
Campfire chat tomorrow at 11 am pst
Hit level 50, made it to Act VI, hopefully can finish out the story this week.
feel free to let us know if you want a capstone carry after story is done, either for wt3 or wt4
Finished the capstone on wt2 so now I'm in wt3. Paragon seems way more complicated than I remember it, and probably need to go look up some necro builds so I don't mess it up ๐
maxroll.gg xD
Just realized the capstone for WT3 is level 70+! Here I am running at 58, it's gonna be awhile
Can do a carry if would like lol
Might have to do that and see what WT4 is all about ๐
We should do that, then get you some ancestral gear in WT4 ๐
Eris carried me through WT3, so I'll start futzing around in WT4 tomorrow
Stuff will be tough, but watch for world boss spawns and go join those, youโll get some better gear ๐
New Amazon Prime content for Diablo.
I wish they had some happier horses.
Too many of the horse models have horrifying wounds and demonic symbols on them. I just want a happy horsey!
I picked up a Spectral horse from a world boss drop I think. White and glowy...but of course there are skeleton bones inside because it's transparent ๐
Made it to L75 with my Necro, finally geared up with some decent gear and actually surviving WT4 on my own, when we gonna wreck some demons?
I have to post a gif for this. It took me far too long to make it years ago and I only got to use it once sending it to Lucy, so I'm making the most of it. ๐
This is my new favorite emote
Eris got the Harlequin uber unique on a kill of Duriel. I said "Jealous, I'll take it!" Our very next kill, it drops for me ๐
rip doom though and not having luck with ubers this season
yeah ๐ฆ

oh no i need to log in
lol
watch the video!
I don't need to, I've been playing!
Not a fan of them bundling some of the best items with platinum.
Are you level 100 on the new season yet? I tried playing my eternal character the other night, did a world boss and then got bored.
yup
I leveled up quick so I could carry Laura this season ๐
Pretty nice bonus xp coming with that event though
HEY NOW! You leveled up quickly because you kept playing. Carrying me was just an added bonus, but don't sell it as that being the primary reason! ๐

has levelling from 95-100 become quicker? I thought it would be very slow but went and cleared 95-96 pretty fast
Stuck at 81, will never make it to 100
After s1 it got a lot easier yeah
almost there! Never thought I'd actually do this
and done! Reached level 100 
Nice, congrats.
no idea how with all the platforms that can play together but I was in a solo instance and killed one of the world bosses with less than a minute to spare ๐ฎ
Just fought Uber Lilith for the first time as I got brave enough to try it. Instant regret... Never died so much anywhere else in the game and she made my Barbarian build that usually wrecks content look weak ๐ฆ Hell, this is the same Barbarian that soloed a world boss and I would have thought they would have had a higher health and damage pool than even uber lilith for what they are, that was a whole different level again
Uber Lilith is getting changed next season so the fight isn't so punishing
uhhh did this update really go and make every item in our inventory marked "Legacy" useless?
Pretty much, should check out the changes!
๐ฑ I checked them out and hate this update. All that time spent only for every piece of loot marked "legacy" becoming useless due to the new system is not cool. Had quite the collection of uniques going and right now I'm in a state of do I continue or uninstall. Really hope there won't be updates this major every season as it will just burn me out really fast. Good thing to somewhat come of this update is it seems a little easier to get a build together with the new gear. Maximizing it though I'm still figuring that out and until I do and get all my gear past Masterworking 5/12 my Whirlwind Barbarian build may be weaker than it was just the previous update ๐ฆ
Kind of like how destiny used to do it then when in Year 2 your Year 1 stuff was useless.
I'll boot it up later and check it out
The update to loot fixes a lot of the gear issues that's been in game since launch, it's an extremely positive change for the game
I was tempted a moment ago to reinstall and check out this season, but remembered the big WoW update is happening tomorrow and I'll be playing that a lot so not worth it.
Good thing is it's not really season theme this season and just to the game as a whole
I'll play again when they add new achievements with the expansion, or they add meaningful content to earn in seasons.
#BringBackThePets
spent a good chunk of the day so far trying to adjust to said changes and I think I'm liking it. Time will only tell when I can start maximizing the build like where I was headed before this update had hit. Gone from hating and considering uninstalling to neutral on it all. I just really hope updates like this aren't going to be common every new season. Hope the next set of changes they make are much more subtle compared to something as big as this
I had an idea for the game but off the back of this update I don't think people really need more changes to gearing any time soon. Especially the idea I had could throw some builds well off balance
I take back all I've said negative about this update. Once you readjust your build to all the changes made it is pretty nice. I'm not quite there yet as I can't seem to find a helmet for my barbarian with strength, cooldown reduction and maximum fury (or any two of those three stats) had almost every other stat combination somehow. Almost convinced it may be bugged ๐
I don't know if stat changes came along with an in general nerf of difficulty of some stuff or if tempering is just that strong but dang
before the update even with how well I managed to follow the season 3 whirlwind barbarian build I was afraid to go too far past level 100 enemies in the nightmare dungeons. So far in the pit I'm sitting around level 130 enemies and still slaying them with ease. Season 4 whirlwind Barbarian saw some wild changes - which is why I was so hesitant at first but I've yet to even get all my gear to masterwork 1/12. Can't wait to see how ridiculous this build is when I get to 12/12 on it all (however long that may go on to take)
Haven't gotten into the masterwork stuff yet this season, just hit wt4 last night
ah, I didn't start a new character. Too invested into my Barbarian to do that. Been running Whirlwind and all of its build variants all the way since I was told about the maxroll site. This version easily required the most work to get it up and running. Optimizing it is going to be something else
all the gear I have equipped and marked as favourite is gear I've already managed to get the tempered rolls I needed. The others are either not optimal rolls or lack at least one tempered stat or in the case of the legacy unique helmet I've just yet to find a replacement for it
got to tier 31 solo on the pit with this build I am running. Dust Devils + whirlwind truly is terrifying. First time seeing 1M+ damage on this character and I love it! ๐
idk if I am overdoing this or what but this is how much I've managed to progress a little over a day on from that last screenshot
Bit late, but main goals should be 9230 armor and 70 resists. Then if using a guide, whatever stats to aim for there
Commenting here so I can check in later when I'm further in the game. I only just reached lvl48 and died thrice to a world boss ๐
Are you on seasonal or eternal
Seasonal
I am 18 on eternal ๐ working through the story for the first time. Iโm so far behind
Time to give trippy a bunch of loot lol
how come 9230 armor that seems a bit specific
resists are a lot easier to get with how the greater affixes can roll which one of those will give +60 on any resist (before masterworking)
9230 is the max armor cap for any content atm
ooh, I see thanks. That'll be helpful for making my build a little more tanky (I say a little more but another 989 or so armor is probably quite a big deal)
necromancer sure is fun. Me and my brother are running the same build and wrecking pretty much everything in our paths. Not a lot survives when you have a combined 12 warriors, 10 mages and 2 golems ๐ Currently on world tier 3 but won't be too long before we are in world tier 4. I'm level 63 and he's level 58. Crazy thing is he started off with a 19 levels headstart and I've passed him in the space of two days even if I get to level 70 first I'll be waiting for him to do the same before we enter the world tier 4 capstone dungeon though I'm almost certain we could clear it now if we really wanted to with little in the way of a challenge
Patch notes for Tuesday https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/diablo4/23964909/diablo-iv-patch-notes
it scares me how powerful the necromancer minions are. Level 90 now and taking on nightmare dungeons at level 101 with ease and this isn't even me at the stage of trying to fully optimize this build. I'll only be doing that after I reach level 100
That's honestly nothing. My barbarian this season, at level 61, was doing a nightmare dungeon with level 105 enemies with no issue solo ๐
And then dead left and right on a tier 91 at 76!
I'm doing a lot better now! ๐
sure feels like quite the achievement. Expecting this Necromancer to somehow outdo my whirlwind twister Barbarian when I do start taking the gear optimization side of things more seriously (tempering and masterworking) from level 100 if not then besides playing with my brother in world tier 3 idk how I'll feel if it is somehow weaker - feels much stronger so far. I just hope it doesn't end up falling off really fast. My Barbarian seems to be good up to tier 61 on the pit and I'm solo. Really hoping the Necromancer can go a bit further than that. The minions seem almost invincible with what I've thrown at them so far
besides dying to a stormbane once in a nightmare dungeon I've not died to any npcs recently, almost to the point a death for my necromancer means I either need to improve gear, focus some more not to die again or it is the beginning of said fall off in minion effectiveness. Up until recent nightmare dungeon tiers I wasn't even getting encounters with the butcher and yeah, I know he is easy but I worried how tough he might have been being some 10+ levels below but again the minions squashed him ๐ First encounter I didn't even see the health bar before the loot dropped ๐
has the way in which to level other players been nerfed? tried running a tier 100 nightmare dungeon with my brother and I thought he'd fly through the levels. Only got one if lucky. Huge difference between a character that was then level 68 to tier 100's level 154 enemies lol
up until I levelled my Necromancer from level 35 to 100 recently all I've played since the game released was with Barbarian but I think the Necromancer is now my new favourite class! The damage from Golem is stupid (in all the good ways of stupid). I can just sit back and relax and then wait for the Golem to kick butt hahaha
Gotta love bugs with the new lilith fight
Blood blisters can spawn in the air where you can't hit them as a melee character ๐
Wonder if heartseeker will hit them oof
they only spawn up there when they spawn if I'm mid-leap
gave up after 90 minutes of attempts. Got pretty close numerous times. Just that final bit of phase 2 with all the flying projectiles, when you have like... 5+ stacks of exponential damage you're taking... it's pretty much insta death if you get hit by one. Got her down below 1/4 on phase 2 numerous times though
I'm not looking forward to it tbh, one of two things needed to finish season ๐ฆ
What's your other?
Commanders
ah
I'm guessing only missing one commander but I have no clue since it doesn't list them
yeah, would have been nice to have that be 5/5 or 6/6 (I forget how many there are)
5
Blood leach demon, Barbarian, Bone necromancer, and I'm forgetting the other 2
Maybe try to do more helltide today for leveling

There's another free gift in shop today, idk how long it lasts until though since it wasn't announced
Some amazing qol stuff coming for season 5
Hellโs gates open wide in the Season 5 PTR. Join using your PC Battle.net account to try the Infernal Hordes activity, a new quest, and more.
I'm liking what I see from the patch notes but will wait for season 5 to launch properly. No major changes to loot so that is good. Some of the changes to existing skills, paragon nodes and items may mean some tweaking to sort builds and with some new gear maybe something new to consider
One thing I'm seeing that not too big a fan of are the conditional "use a potion gain x" things
Interesting to see them adding WoW skins into Diablo.
supposedly an event tied to wow coming soon
@ripe sorrel as a heads up, the game is changing massively on next season/xpac release. Patch notes for ptr starting next week to give an idea https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/diablo4/24130178/the-2-0-ptr-what-you-need-to-know#Patch
Crusade against Hellโs grasp on Sanctuary in the 2.0 PTR. Join the carnage using your PC Battle.net account.
Thanks, Eris! Those patch notes scare me and have me wondering really why I bother grinding Diablo 4 so much only for major changes like this to come in and render most of, if not all of it completely worthless ๐ฆ Don't think I'll be putting in any more effort to the tempering/masterworking system before season 6 is available
yeah thats what happens if you on seasonal but thats where all the fun is, really enjoyed Season5 though spent tons of time in Infernal Hordes. got nothing left to do now though changed my build tons of times. also got respendant sparks to make my own mythic unique when I was boosted through the game by my kids. only took 5 hours to finish the season questline.
least season6 you get 10 extra skill points and around 100 extra paragon points. but limited to 5 boards
I don't play season as I'm too stubborn to level characters I already levelled again each season. Sure, I get to keep the loot I get, which is cool and it is probably my best chance of getting mythic uniques but I'd rather just work on the eternal levelling
Yeah I canโt be bothered with seasonal characters either, if they made it so I could level up the battlepass with my old characters and just doing general activities Iโd probably get more enjoyment out of it. Iโll get the expansion though to play the story content and try out this new class
New achievements have been added to Steam for the expansion. Spoilered in case people don't want to see yet.
I'm also annoyed, because I stupidly bought the DLC on PC through Battle.net as I only had it installed there when pre-orders went up. I've since realised that's not cross-buy and I had to buy again on Xbox for the achievements. ๐คฌ
looks like this a bumpie launch for Vessel of Hatred tonight
No launch for me right now. I reinstalled it last night and now this morning it's hit me with a 95GB update.
some awesome new cosmetics lol
main complaint though, some of the spiritborn abilities dont play well with controller ๐
abilities that are "aimed" where mouse would be, but with controller they don't target whats nearest to you for some reason. most of the time, end up on other side of the screen and hit nothing
That's a shame. They had made some nice improvements with controller play from D3 to D4.
yeah, and haven't had issues with other targeted abilities so idk why these were overlooked
there's weekly twitch drops starting a bit later for d4 btw
so much stuff to catch up on and no longer level 100 characters
these updates are doing my head in but seeing as it is a new season I will give it a try before I come to any conclusions but once again, start to a new season and my mind is like "ugh, here we go again with the never ending grind". Usually I love these kinds of games but the constant changes make it difficult to really keep going at times. Past 3 seasons have had game changing changes made and if I'm not right in saying have all happened within the past year. I like that there is active change happening but I think it is all happening a bit too fast
Seems odd that the first week of Twitch drops are for Sorc and Necro. Surely you'd think they would do something for Spiritborn seeing as it's a brand new class a lot of people would be checking out.
Invincible mount from WoW has been added to the shop.
Saw that they are doing a PS5 Pro patch for D4 which is interesting. Will probably wait on that before starting the expansion story to what has changed. Wasn't really expecting that as it's a Microsoft title now but suggests they might also do the same with Indy and other games on Pro.
So this expansion has a co-op only dungeon.
Yes
Oooh, the new WoW cosmetics just added to the shop are niiiiiiice!
It's not too bad. I need to do some build experimentation to see how other builds play and settle on something.
I'm just about to hit 58 with mine.
nice, I've barely started with mine. Got to level 8 or something and stopped to complete the expansion campaign so now I probably have to delete it so I can skip the campaign on that character
oh nvm there was a skip campaign option in the character select menu
Oh, reminder that it's a new week of twitch drops
faction this season is the worst ๐
Anyone done the co-op dungeon yet?
There's a cap on gem fragments, and the can't pick up anymore gets annoying 
Is it a max level thing or high end gear requirement?
I'm not sure where the requirement really lays for being able to do it with how insanely broken spiritborn builds are. Main thing is try to have armor and resistances capped for the torment tier you're on, and try on torment 1 first
We did torment 1 the first week, and 3 last week. We tried 4, but roommate doesn't have the survival quite yet for it so maybe this week
I'm not up to Torment yet. I started again with a Sorc instead of Spiritborn, so just getting back to 60 again.
I dunno for other classes this season, since I'm still just trying to grind out paragon on spiritborn. I know each class has good builds but they're so far behind spiritborn atm
Firewall Sorc is pretty beasty. But not broken beasty like some Spiritborn builds are.
Hopefully mid season patch will help the other classes. I highly doubt we'll see any spiritborn nerds this season
I can help with dark citadel when you get up to level and stuff if don't want to try party finder, but it does require two people so can't just carry through
So it unlocks at T1?
Yeah and having done campaign to a certain point
I finished the campaign.
Then yeah, when you get to torment 1 the quest should be available for unlock
Cool. Is it a difficult dungeon?
Not really, but there are timed aspects on the parts that require multiple people
I'm lvl 52 at the moment on this Sorc, so will sort out getting to 60 and unlock T1 and gear up a bit.
Gamble for uniques if didn't know, can get uniques fairly easily that way
I found that out earlier. I forgot I had a bunch of the currency built up so bought a bunch of chest pieces and ended up with a load of uniques.
Especially with the chance for double items from ashes bonus heh
It's live now - https://vasesofhatred.com/
Flower delivery is only available in NYC and LA, so choose a zip code elsewhere and you do a digital card to get the in-game reward
new week of twitch drops reminder
I've got that co-op dungeon unlocked now on T1.
Also finally got the achievement for 25 Undercity runs. I'd done a bunch of them while away on my Ally so I don't think they counted towards the progress I'd done on console.
Aside from the co-op dungeon achievement, the rest I have are super grindy ones.
Don't forget the Halloween event starts today. Free mount and other items for logging in daily.
new twitch rewards for the week too
oooh, the trolli weapon pack looks nice
Trolli the gummy worm people??
Getting the codes from them is a pain though.
There's no codes in the packs. You have to send a photo of your receipt to their website and even with a super clear image they reject it saying the info is missing.
Louie tried getting one for me, because I wanted the WoW pet and I tried with a couple of bags while in NYC.
Ah, we didn't have any issues with it. Submitted photo on monday and got codes tues
I managed to get one working which I used for WoW, but I still want the Diablo stuff. I need to find my receipt again.
This 10K Cinders achievement is taking forever.
Typical. Now it pops after saying this.
Stream tomorrow talking about balancing changes, updates.. also Blizzard have another stream next week
anyone else playing Diablo 4? idk if it is the game, my PC or Windows playing up but it keeps booting me offline and out of the game after so long, it is weird. Never had an issue like this with Diablo 4 before
many people have reported crashing in-game also if you have expansion and doing Kurast Undercity sometimes it will crash too
Tuesdays patch notes are up https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/diablo4/24140808/diablo-iv-patch-notes
yeah started some new builds ready for Tuesday, I mostly just want the XP buff thats coming back, really want that Paragon 300 nowhere close yet though think I still have over 2000 pit 75's before thats completed.
doing 75 cause I can finish that in under 2mins
I'm not even bothering to push to 300 this season, I'll wait until the tune it next season tbh. It's dumb that 280 is only halfway to 300. I get the grind aspect of it, but there's no content to actually justify that much of a grind right now
I just dont feel like restarting already at 271 I think
but yeah adding 299 paragon points everytime is getting too much
Season 7 theme was pretty interesting, which is apparently similar to Season2 but this time is Witchcraft, also finally an Armory is coming with 5 loadouts per class you make,could of done with that this season ๐
armory is much needed. Though I do wish each new season didn't mean gear was meaningless with that red skull, "legacy" status on them. 5 loadouts is going to be good. Might mean I can finally try something other than what is my go to whirlwind barb for a change
I am gonna leave Barb for next season, way too difficult to gear for, took me ages last time I tried with amount of Mythics it needs
made around 20 builds this season, also just hit 1000 hours played lol. still not finished as I grind towards paragon 300, currently level 277. there is a spreadsheet out and apparently could take me another 40 hours. but nothing else to do
I just forgot about the mythics side of the build as I can never get them to drop for me. Guaranteed the first one that does will be of no use but to me, those mythics really are just that. I begin to wonder if they actually exist ๐
yeah I havent had too many this season. think maybe 12 or so
the expansion added ways to craft mythics with the new runewords. comes in handy but you still need 2 sparks for that
yeah and those sparks only come from the seasonal path or from defeating uber bosses (level 200) iirc?
think its just Lilith now that drops one. can be T1 - T4
completed that season path in about a week or 2
bosses get boring though I keep doing duriel, can kill him in like 2 seconds. best way to make money or if you short on materials
ahh, I don't really play the seasonal path. Trying to get my existing characters back up to how they were pre expansion but that really isn't going very well at all though I did recently get the spiritborn to level 60 and seems a pretty op class currently to work with
yeah the bugs are being fixed in Season7 so January, made around 7 builds of different Spiritborns.. currently using it now an evade build does the job for Pit runs
my son also uses Spiritborn the Quill Volley one, currently gets like Trillions of damage, cause of the different interactions with glyphs and Aspects it just double-dips so goes crazy
I'm trying to build quill volley. Really like that build , though this upcoming armory feature will open the door to trying the others, eventually
following maxroll's quill volley guide
yeah will help me, watched the stream yesterday, and it saves equipment from stash or inventory. just make sure not to accidentally sell something
๐ฑ that I'll end up doing a lot of lol
Quill Volley was my first build, moved onto Crushing Hands, then made a Hardcore character with Payback Thorns, and now been going through the Poison stuff Spiritborn has.. but still Evade is my favourite shooting out feathers everywhere.
I don't sell unneeded gear btw. I salvage it all. Would be terrified to see the amount of stuff I have salvaged since I started doing that
I always sell uniques keep getting tons of them anyway, need the cash for all that masterworking and everything else
like if MW doesnt land on a Stat you have to refresh it again and costs 5 million each time
full patch notes arent out till Wednesday for the new season stuff, and PTR isnt till December 3rd only for PC anyway not gonna watch too many streams of people playing new season and just figure things out for myself.. I watch too many streamers for Diablo already
yeah, its all become a bit excessive in grind imo. Ever since masterworking has been a thing I haven't like it or the RNG to even get to the point of using masterworking. Pre expansion I could never get an amulet with some specific rolls for my necromancer - the one time I did, RNG didn't play nice and now T4 looks so far out of sight
dont get me started on Amulets lol.. they are a pain to find any things you need. or you spend millions just changing stats in the occultist in hopes you get the roll you need.
or you can gamble 50million in Kurast Undercity and it will give you an Amulet with a +skill stat but still RNG if its one you want lol
some of my Spiritborns are really mid-gear and still reach T4, so you shouldnt be far off
EXACTLY. They are so annoying. Crazy part is I'm sure it was the only piece to my minion necromancer I needed to start masterworking as everything else had at least 4 ranks to it - that build was going places then BOOM! new expansion hit, turned all that legacy and I didn't know how to react
I'm pretty sour about it but hope the legacy status of gear stops as idk how people can progress every new season having to regrind everything all over again. Season 4 it started, season 5 and season 6 (expansion)
Paragon will carry on over to Season7 this time so whatever you ended up on you can do for eternal, but yeah items were what was it. 540 item power.. I deleted all mine enjoy the Season stuff more
Armory saving Paragon is gonna be great like now I got 304 points, if I make another build I have to put all those points in everytime.
ooh, that won't be much fun lol
takes me like 2mins cause I just look at other builds on Maxroll or Mobalytics
felt wild upon reaching 60 with the spiritborn and adding some 211 paragon points to the build. That level 60 got a very sudden power boost! ๐
yeah and when you reach Glyph level 46 another power boost
yet to get there. Still trying to gather the necessary glyphs for my spiritborn. Think I got a bit further on the necromancer though but its progress has been shelved while I levelled the spiritborn
If you play Diablo IV and need a battle pass skip here you go ๐
X3DH-9W9B-KDJDB-HXCL-DKPP
Where does that code need to be entered? Is that for battle.net?
Will be helpful to have that info for whoever wants to claim it.
uhh
I'm guessing it is being a 4-4-5-4-4 but always best to be sure.
pretty sum one plays that game a lot would know where to put the code at
all I can see is that the codes become useless by end of the year, I already completed the battle pass though
just what I need gonna grab my last 17 levels with this
New season time! Hope this season doesnโt have too many changes. Still trying to wrap my head around the changes from season 6 and the expansion ๐ฆ
My update is almost done.
battle pass is gone from rewards ๐ฆ
Oh that sucks.
yay! no equips marked as legacy this season. The sigh of relief I did seeing that. Sure am happy 
would have hated to refarm all the gear I need for builds for what feels like it would have been the 4th season in a row...
the cosmetics for battle pass this season...really missed the mark for the theme
